IOVRAE - Let It Hurt || Darkwave, Post-Punk

"LET IT HURT" by IOVRAE This song is about choosing discomfort over the comfort that keeps you stuck in life. About showing up tired, scared, and unmotivated but doing in anyway. Sometimes freedom isn't escaping the weight. Sometimes it's choosing what's worth carrying. Lyrics: I used to think the pain meant stop That every wound was something wrong Now I wake up underneath the weight And wonder where the fear has gone I’ve never carried scars this deep I’ve never felt this close to whole Funny how the harder that it gets The more it feels like coming home [Pre-Chorus] They taught me comfort meant I’d made it They taught me ease was something earned But everything I thought would save me Was everything I had to burn [Chorus] I chose the chains I chose the weight I chose the road that takes and takes I wanted freedom all my life Now purpose keeps me up at night Let it hurt Let it scar I know exactly what they are Proof I never turned away I chose the chains I chose the chains [Verse 2] I spent too many years believing Someone else could block the road Giving power to their voices Like permission had been owed Now the walls look almost funny Knowing I could walk straight through No one ever held me back As much as I allowed them to [Pre-Chorus] If there’s something left unfinished I don’t need another sign Move my hands and move my body What was waiting becomes mine [Chorus] I chose the chains I chose the weight I chose the road that takes and takes I wanted freedom all my life Now purpose keeps me up at night Let it hurt Let it scar I know exactly what they are Proof I never turned away I chose the chains I chose the chains [Bridge] And when it finally starts to work Don’t raise a glass Don’t call it done Add the weight Increase the distance If you’re growing Then become Something harder Something sharper Something comfort couldn’t make Mediocrity is waiting For the moment that you break So break me first Destroy what’s left Take everything I haven’t spent I’ll crawl before I ever quit There’s nothing left to negotiate [Final Chorus] I chose the chains I chose the weight I chose the life I used to hate I suffer more than ever now And somehow I have never been more proud Let it hurt Let it scar Let it show me who you are You can bury what I was But you will never make me stop I wanted freedom all my life I found it when I chose the fight Call it madness Call it fate I chose the chains I chose the weight [Outro] If it has to be done Then do it If the road has to be walked Then move No celebration No release I chose the chains And they set me free.
